It's basically a wearable, portable blackout shade. It molds right to your face to keep out any light, which for me, is crucial. It's also super light-weight and comfy — tbh, I don't even notice that I'm wearing it while I sleep. It also comes in about two dozen different colors and funky patterns.

This is a picture of me and one of my BFFs, Leah. She bought me my first Bucky eye mask back in college. As a fellow light sleeper, she swore by it... and she was right.

It's traveled with me from college in Providence, Rhode Island to two different apartments in New York City. It's also been around world with me from Barcelona to Buenos Aires. It's the first thing I pack in my carry-on bag when I travel because I pretty much can't sleep without it.

As you can see, my trusty Bucky has gone through a fair amount of wear and tear.
